## About

These are Ruby bindings for the next generation LESS, which is implemented in JavaScript

For more information, visit .

## Usage

less.rb exposes the `less.Parser` constructor to ruby code via `Less::Parser`. You can instate it

context free:

```ruby

parser = Less::Parser.new

```

or with configuration options:

```ruby

parser = Less::Parser.new :paths => ['./lib', 'other/lib'], :filename => 'mystyles.less'

```

Once you have a parser instantiated, you can parse code to get your AST !

```ruby

tree = parser.parse(".class {width: 1+1}") # => Less::Tree

tree.to_css #=> .class {\n  width: 2;\n}\n

tree.to_css(:compress => true) #=> .class{width:2;}

```

## Development

This repository contains less.js as a submodule, so to run the tests,

you'll need to grab that code as well. To do that, run `git submodule update --init`

from the root directory of the project.

To run the tests:

    bundle

    rake
